Haiku: Wisp

Wisp

Flickering lantern

Tenuous light draws you in

And never lets go

Aspasía S. Bissas

For this haiku I was inspired by will o’ the wisps– the flickering lights that have been known to lure nighttime travellers to their doom. There’s a mundane explanation for the lights, but I prefer the stories of fae folk playing tricks. Is there a “fairy tale” that inspires you? Share in the comments…

Weekend Update

I’m excited to share some good news. BiblioBoard has chosen to add Love Lies Bleeding to Indie Ontario and Indie Canada! This means Love Lies Bleeding will be featured and promoted in libraries as a local indie book. Check it out:

https://library.biblioboard.com/content/e42510ca-c32c-4550-b4d7-6f9082f2432b

BiblioBoard, Indie Canada, Indie Ontario, fantasy, dark fantasy, Love Lies Bleeding, Aspasia S. Bissas, indie authors, vampire, vampires, libraries.

The submission process was a long one, so it was great to find out that Love Lies Bleeding made the cut. And now, assuming this pandemic will ever end, I can look forward to participating in events and signings at libraries around the province and country.

If your local library (or bookstore) doesn’t carry Love Lies Bleeding, not to fear. Let them know you’d like to see it on their shelves. (If they ask, you can tell them it’s available through Ingram.)

In other news, I’m making progress on the new book. Part of what’s slowing it down is that I keep adding to it lol. I think the changes will make for a better read, though, and I hope you’ll all agree when it’s finished. This book is going to offer more insight into characters from Love Lies Bleeding, as well as introducing a major new character, and bringing back newbie vampire Trina, whom you’ll remember from Blood Magic. I’m really looking forward to being able to share it with you.

Finally, I just want to wish my fellow Canadians 🍁 a Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe and enjoy your feast with family and/or friends (or solo, because a quiet holiday can be the best kind of holiday).

Cheers,

Aspasía S. Bissas
